I hate when people say they want to "help other people" or something along those lines as the meaning of life. I agree that making others happy is the way to make yourself happy, but living a good life free of ill intent is all the karma others need to straighten themselves out. Change must come from within(your pocket), not without.
no one said it was the meaning of life,, the thread is about peoples purpose in life,, there's a big difference,, for one thing the meaning of life is totally subjective and without a solid definition, but someones purpose is whatever they feel it to be,,
id be more careful how you use the word hate,, i think you mean you dislike it alot,,
once you are happy with yourself then making others happier is a good way of making things better for all concerned,, but obviously dont put yourself out if you arent being rewarded on some level,, there is no selfless act,,
